Report

Frenchman Richard Virenque (Team Polti) won the tricky stage 13 between Sassuolo and Rapallo (243 kms) and compatriot Laurent Jalabert (ONCE-Deutsch Bank) kept the Maglia Rosa. Stage 13 was the hardest so far in this year's Giro and took the peloton over four mountain passes. Virenque had to out-think Spaniard Santiago Blanco. Blanco attacked too early and Virenque was able to overhaul him 100 metres from the line. While the stage was extremely animated there were no serious impacts on the top of the GC. That will come next week. All the major attacks over the passes in pursuit of KOM points involved riders who are not threatening the GC.

Overnight mountain's jersey holder, Paolo Bettini, was first over the top of the Cisa with Oscar Sevilla first over Brattello, "Chepe" González first over both the Cento Croci and Malanotte. There was drama on the descent from Croci. Leonardo Piepoli and Dario Frigo fell and had to abandon the race with Frigo fracturing his collarbone. Jan Svorada and Ivan Quaranta abandoned the stage also.

The real action came on the Cat 1 climb of the Malanotte, by far the toughest ascent of the stage. Colombian "Chepe" González was first over the top with Santiago Blanco and Roberto Heras following and Richard Virenque just behind them. On the descent, Heras fell and "Chepe" stopped to help him. Virenque took advantage of this misfortune and he went away with Santiago Blanco. Together they held of the chasing group over the last kms. All the fancied riders were in the second group. Coming into the last km, Virenque induced the Spaniard to lead the sprint out. He attacked too early and Virenque only had to hold on and pass him on the final meters. The peloton came in fragmented. The first group came in at 34 seconds and a second group came in at 18 minutes.

Virenque, who is being hailed as a major liar in France by the sporting press, has now returned Polti's faith in him. His win after a 34 kms breakaway with Santiago Blanco was a high point in his career. He said afterwards: "This was not a revenge. It was a victory. That is better than revenge. After all I have been through I cannot smile now... perhaps tomorrow. For some time my heart has been empty, but now I am full of emotion. It's a big victory for me and for my sponsor Franco Polti, because he could have said that I could not go to the Giro. My team director Gianluigi Stanga believes in me, and he made the team believe in me. It's good for cycling, my family, and my fans too. Physically and morally, the conditions have not been ideal. I do not know about the Tour (de France) now, because each day has its problems with the judiciary. I don't know what might happen next."

Jalabert said: "It was very dangerous. I needed some luck to reach the valleys safely. I saw several crashes. Vireneque has had some difficult times but he has coped well physically and mentally. I was pleased with his victory and told him so after the finish."
